Northern Valley Mission Statement
We at Northern Valley Regional High School District, provide an environment in which each student seeks answers to questions, challenges assumptions and develops self-worth. Our high schools encourage individual academic excellence, aesthetic appreciation and moral integrity. Recognition of academic and culture diversity promotes mutual respect and acceptance. We provide a framework for the immediate and future concerns of our
- students. Such provisions require a constantly critical reevaluation of curriculum
and course design to keep abreast of global research and new techniques within
- ur respective disciplines. We promote students respect for learning and their
desire to acquire knowledge through traditional as well as appropriate technological means. Education requires a shared commitment. Therefore, the responsibility of the community is to support and complement the schools' philosophy and
- goals. This joint commitment of students, professional staff, Board of Education
and community forms the basis for a challenging and effective program.
